There is plenty of fair criticism that can be leveled at Stephon Marbury regarding his career in the National Basketball Association.  Still, many of those occurred after he left New Jersey, and it was as a Net where he put up his best statistical numbers.

Michael Ray Richardson was traded from the Golden State Warriors late in the 1982/83 Season, and the then two-time All-Star would put up solid stats for his new team.  Richardson would lead the Nets to their first playoff series win (over the Philadelphia 76ers) in the NBA in 1984, and his 1984/85 season would see him put up a career-high 20.1 Points per Game, and he would win the Steals Title with a 3.0 Average.  That would be his highlight year, as the following year, he would suffer the tragedy of excess.

So many players made their way to the Nets with lofty expectations, and some pegged Deron Williams to be the next coming of Jason Kidd.  That didn’t happen, but D-Will did show Nets fans on occasion that he was capable of being the best Point Guard in the NBA.

Chris Morris played the first seven seasons of his career in the National Basketball Association with the New Jersey Nets after playing for Auburn, where he was a two-time First Team SEC Selection.  Morris was drafted fourth overall in 1988, where the Small Forward started nearly 80 percent of the games he played in for the Nets.  Averaging a shade under 30 Minutes per Game, Morris would show off dunking skills, and he had three seasons where he averaged 14 Points per Game.  Morris showed above-average defensive skills, ranking 18^th in Steals per Game in 1990/91 and 12^th in 1992/93.
